Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues - The Soul of a Man (2003) ReviewWhile there were some disappointing aspects to this film (I'd wish for more complete versions of songs, for instance), it's worth viewing for its presentation of the relatively obscure (at least to those new to the blues) J.B.Lenoir. Director Wim Wenders was captivated by Lenoir's music as a young man, and gives him a central place in the film, along with Blind Willie Johnson and Skip James. There's some terrific archival footage of Lenoir, and a number of (portions of) his songs. And the contemporary performances of Lenoir pieces by the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Casandra Wilson and others are pretty stirring too. Again, I only wish there were more complete songs, a criticism that can be leveled at most of the volumes in this series.
But if you've never heard Lenoir, or if you've heard him but never seen him, you'll enjoy this DVD.
